New Arrivals: A guide to renting an apartment in Paris.

In This episode of New Arrivals, Eliza Lorenço walks us through a guide to renting an apartment in Paris! 

"Paris has a bad reputation when it comes to finding a place to live. Advice can also vary widely. It’s important to stay informed and get the facts straight.

This is easier said than done. The problem with renting in Paris isn’t necessarily having a lack of money to pay the rent itself; rather, it can be hard as a foreigner to meet requirements. I know first-hand how important it can be to know your rights as a tenant in Paris. It can save you time, stress, and money.
